One week after making The Last of Us movie official, Naughty’s Dog Neil Druckmann, who is writing the script for the movie, spoke with IGN and revealed that the film will be an adaptation of the story from The Last of Us video game:

It’s an adaptation of the story of The Last of Us. As far as where we go and how we make it fit into a film, how it takes into account the unique properties of film… We’re not sure yet. We’re only just scratching the surface.

Even with the movie being made, there’s still some more DLC in the form of new multiplayer maps and a new difficulty setting, which Druckmann says we’ll be getting shortly. As for the potential sequel to The Last of Us, Druckmann just reiterated that “we don’t know yet. We’re still trying to figure it out. We’re brainstorming some stuff, so we’ll see where that goes.”

If The Last of Us movie follows the story of the game, will you go see it? Let us know in the comments below.
